So in conclusion:
Dont use netdata anymore, if you like it fully open source.

Dont use netdata anymore, if you're interested in not being forced into a subscription model sooner or later.

Dont use netdata anymore, if you're interested in long-term availability of "the vibrant community" they claim on their homepage.

Dont give them your code under CLA.

And DUCK the Marketing Responses from them, and them trying to keep up the good looks of being open source while enshittifying.

And then tried to lecture on why the open source community really wants blobs and closed source and how it's all OK for Sustainability and how they're totally still open source.
A proposed fix for a previous bug was that they could just always load the closed code from their cdn, thats good right?

v0/v1 are getting removed: https://github.com/netdata/netdata/pull/18125
Just look at those new juicy restrictions to squeeze money from users!
(this will make only the agent packageable for distros, if at all)

From the very beginning of that report, the project has now repeatedly claimed and lied about:
"We are transparent about the inclusion of the binary UI component" (They are not, hidden in the readme until my recent change request)
"Netdata fully complies with the GPL v3+ license" (It doesn't in any way that matters, the v2 blobs shipped are closed source. Atleast they switched to "netdata agent" now).
And of course they also have a CLA.
